Some article in the Globe have a strong bias; not certain if it's more anti-American or just plain liberal (since they don't hesitate to bash Blair just as strongly). Then again, some articles seem pretty fair, or maybe even conservative. I haven't read enough of them to determine what's going on; maybe they just prefer an inflammatory approach. I wouldn't argue about the pitfalls of international troops. It's very possible that there can be turf wars or training issues, or worse. But looking at the forest, if the Iraqi people will accept an International force and want us to leave, then I'm all for it. Whatever it takes to get them where they need to go.
